Road-trip comedies have been effective since Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert met-cute on a Greyhound in It Happened One Night. The new episodes follow Deborah and Ava (played by Hannah Einbinder), the Millennial she hired as her writer, on a trek across America to perform shows and sharpen the confessional material in Deborah’s set. The bus is also, figuratively speaking, the story engine for the Emmy-winning comedy’s second season. It’s a vehicle fit for a celebrity of her stature. It also has a “much better master bedroom than the last time I was on one of these things,” Deborah coos as she ambles inside. Take her new ride, for instance: It’s a gussied-up tour bus with her initials emblazoned in hot pink on the side, and it’s equipped with a soda machine and a regenerative light-therapy bed. Deborah Vance, the caustic stand-up played by Jean Smart in HBO Max’s Hacks, likes to live large.
